getting braid to sink

[scunnyiron]

i'm struggling with some braid i bought,the braid was described as sinking but it floats making bite detection a nightmare.i'm told the only way to get it to sink is to keep using it,the older the better.is there anyother way of sinking braid

[ridgeacre]

have you tried soaking it in washing up liquid to de-grease it

no mate,i know that works with mono didn't know braid required degreasing,will give it a try thanks

Here is your solution (but don't go letting too many people know its a secret) ....

Get yourself some lead putty.... then just pull the braid through it and then reel it back onto the spool... job done, it will now sink!
